A lot of people have been asking me about our local real estate market, and how its holding up, so here is my thought: Stats below are provided from Trend MLS for Residential only (not multi family, commercial & lots), as of Friday 7/25/08. Montgomery County: Jan - June 2006 - 5314 Houses Sold, $336,845 average sold priceJan - June 2007 - 4961 Houses Sold, $334,603 average sold priceJan - June 2008 - 3969 Houses Sold, $323,761 average sold price This tells me that in 2 years, the number of transactions has gone down about 25% when comparing a 6 month period, and the average … (0 comments)

montgomery county: Now - more than ever - your credit score matters. - 02/28/08 10:18 PM
Now - more than ever - your credit score matters.
________________________________________________
With the current "credit crunch", your credit score is more important now than it has ever been.
You may know your score, but where do you rank?  Here is some interesting information I found on www.myfico.com 
Up to 499 - 2%
500 - 549 - 5%
550 - 599 - 8%
600 - 649 - 12%
650 - 699 - 15%
700 - 749 - 18%
750 - 799 - 27%
800+ - 13%
What was most shocking to me is that 40% of people have credit scores of 750+...That's a pleasant surprise.

montgomery county: ALL REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL! - 02/22/08 07:34 PM
ALL REAL ESTATE IS LOCAL! 
Despite what you're hearing about "Real Estate" and the "Housing Market", one market is drastically different from another.  People often speak in national terms, or talk about struggling real estate spots, opposed to focusing locally.  Another thing you usually don't hear (but is very true) is that every Real Estate market,whether depreciating, appreciating or staying steady, is good for SOMEBODY, whether its sellers, buyers, investors, first time home buyers, upgraders, downgraders, people selling & moving to another area, etc.  Each market is usually good for more than one segment.
Here are some statistics to explain the current situation in Montgomery County, PA (source: Trend MLS):
2006:
Average Sale Price: $336,793
